According to Nitvakyamrta, a contemporary work on politics mentions how every villages of Kanarese country were trained to fight & how everyone was expected to attain glory.
Each hero was glorified in hero-stones.
In-fact highest density of hero-stones are found in Karnataka.

Gadag District was most famed for producing glorious warriors, In-fact the largest herostone to be ever discovered was found in Gadag.
In that stone we can see Martyred being carried to gods.
This drive was one of the reason why we saw our peak expansionism during that era.

If you're wondering how @Columbia and the @ManhattanDA fumbled this case so spectacularly, I read all 46 pages of Judge Lebovits's ruling so you don't have to.

Let's start with the facts: At least two individuals hid inside Hamilton Hall past closing. At 12:30 a.m. on April 30, 2024, they opened the front doors from the inside to let in 40-50 masked individuals. They smashed glass door panes, "spread out through Hamilton Hall, covered interior security cameras, and set up barricades," thereby obstructing every entrance/exit. (2/19)
The janitors trapped inside Hamilton Hall allege in a federal lawsuit (Torres v. Carlson, SD NY) that they were "assaulted and taunted by some of the occupiers as being 'Jew-lovers' and 'work[ing] for the Jews.'" They took extended leaves of absence "due to the effects of their experiences." The court noted these allegations and moved on. (3/19)
Attack on Cyprus base + Hizbullah's entry into hostilities regionalizes the war into the Eastern Mediterranean. Hizb's exact capabilities are unclear - signs indicate severe depletion - but the willingness to send rockets (almost certainly on Tehran's orders) is a positive sign.
Hizb's attack is an escalation - one that will incur severe response - and that Iran has taken this escalation indicates that they believe the ladder favors them. This is a major change from June 2025, which Hizb sat out even though it was far less favorable for Iran at the time.
The entry of PMF and now Hizb into hostilities leaves Ansarallah as the only non-belligerent Axis member, v likely awaiting the right moment (see post). The entry of Ansar would completely restore Unity of Fronts, marking a dramatic change since Nov 2024.
The most important platform to be closed off 2017-2019 was YouTube. Before 2017, YouTube was a very open platform, with easy monetization and almost no moderation of legal content. By the end of 2019, thoughtcrime (anything to the right of Ben Shapiro) was thoroughly purged.
In March 2017, several news organizations (The Times of London, the Guardian, WSJ) published coordinated articles about ads appearing next to "problematic" content on YouTube. This led to the British government summoning Google to explain and an advertiser boycott.
[as an aside, no one sane believes that an ad appearing next to a YouTube video implies the company behind that ad endorses or knows about the content of the video; this was 100% astroturf. No one knew or complained until the news articles hit]
1/ What if I tell you that Duolingo $DUOL is going to trade north of $300/share by 2030? (BEAR CASE 🐻)

The Prostitution Path to Colorado Classrooms.
@Erin4Parents is correct to raise the alarm that the Colorado Democrats’ desire to legalize prostitution will directly affect Colorado’s kids.
The Prostitution Path starts with billionaire George Soros’ Open Societies Foundation, runs through the UN and Planned Parenthood, then directly toward Colorado’s classrooms.
Here’s how. 🧵

Soros’ Open Societies Foundation has been promoting the ‘decriminalization’ of prostitution for nearly a decade.
OSF seeks to replace the term ‘prostitution’ with ‘sex work’. This word game normalizes the idea that ‘sex work’ is simply another type of work, akin to being a lifeguard, doctor, or teacher.
The Witkoff angle:
Steve Witkoff was conducting indirect negotiations with Iran right up to the moment the strikes began. Those channels don’t close completely even during active combat — they transform into defection facilitation channels. Qatar, Oman, and UAE all maintain relationships with both sides and can serve as intermediaries for IRGC commanders who want to flip.

What the validated defector list would realistically look like:
Probably tiered:
∙Tier 1 — full amnesty, guaranteed safety, possible role in transitional security forces. For those who actively facilitate regime collapse — opening gates, standing down units, securing facilities

∙Tier 2 — amnesty from prosecution, retirement with pension equivalent, no active role. For those who simply stop fighting
∙Tier 3 — case by case review. For mid-level commanders with mixed records
∙Excluded — documented war crimes, massacre orders, terrorism financing. This group gets prosecuted regardless

Scientists discover LUCA, common ancestor of all living things.
Imagine the tree of life. The tip of every branch represents one species, whether you're talking about humans, E. coli, tardigrades, baker's yeast or giant kelp.
If you follow any two branches back through time, you'll hit an intersection. That's the common ancestor of those two species. For example, the common ancestor of humans and chimps lived less than 10 million years ago.

It is stunning how quickly the Internet was closed off 2017-2023. Perhaps most importantly, Google began politicizing search results in April 2017 with "Project Owl," which sought to suppress "problematic searches" [their term, not mine].
To accomplish this, Google began removing "problematic" autocomplete selections. Since then, there have been a number of cases of Google's autocomplete bias getting so heavy-handed it went viral on other platforms, but the thumb on the scale is usually invisible.
Google also began manual rating/curation of their "featured snippets" answers.
🧵regarding Lord of the Rings - related traumatic injuries, and whether access to modern Level 1 trauma centers could have decreased morbidity and mortality within the Fellowship.
Here we will take a more evidence-based approach to some of the injuries in Middle Earth

Background:
Though nominally successful in is main task, the Fellowship still had an unacceptably high mortality rate (2/9 or 22%), and one of the survivors was left with chronic injuries and PTSD (11%).
The question is whether this could be improved with modern Trauma care.

Boromir initially sustains a penetrating L upper chest injury.
Injured structures are likely to include the L lung and the L subclavian vessels. The L subclavian arterial injury is a classic Trauma fellow question and repair is challenging to say the least. But survivable.

One of the hardest realizations for me after Oct. 7, as an Israeli feminist, was the sense of betrayal by many Western women’s organizations. 1/6>>
They didn’t condemn the massacre.
They didn’t stand with victims of sexual violence. They ignored the number of Israeli women who were murdered, raped, injured, and kidnapped. 2/6>>

The painful conclusion: MeToo - unless you’re a Jew.
When it comes to Israeli women, there are no nuances. No “complex reality.” No ability to hold pain on more than one side.
We are invisible. Worse - we are enemies. 3/6>>
